Abstract
Imagine not-yet-1001 little square stories for children – which in many cases are not really stories at all but something more like quirky poems, and possibly not really (just) for children anyway, and in at least one case not actually square. This is the intriguing and unsettling world of Louis Jensen's hundreds of stories. For all their postmodern playfulness, these stories are, as Line Beck Rasmussen shows, also in a direct line from Hans Christian Andersen and owe at least some of their characteristics to sources as diverse and unexpected as Gogol and Rabelais
